Hey, I saw you at the April Fool's 5k last weekend and I noticed your web address for your blog on your shirt. (I started near the front and was wearing a very orange shirt.) It is inspiring to hear your story, and to realize that I am in a similar place. I started running about 3 and 1/2 years ago and was about 240 pounds, now I am around 200 and just got my first age group medal at last week's 5k. We have also done a couple of the same races (Lululemon 5k, Beverly Hills Turkey Trot) and I am signed up to do the Aurora Fox Valley Trail Half as well. My wife and I both enjoy running, tris and eating a lot, so it is interesting to see all of your posts. Keep up the good work. I will definitely be back for more (double meaning implied).
